Graha balamemi rama, anugraha balame balamu

Graha balamemi thejo mayavi,
Grahamunu dhyaninchu variki nava

Graha peetala Pancha papamula naa,
Grahamulu kala kamaadhi ripula nee,
Grahamu jeyu Harini bhajinchu,
Thyagarajaniki Rasikagresaruluku

English translation

Pallavi

Oh Rama, what is the power of planets,
Only the power of your blessings is real power

Anupallavi

What is the power of the nine planets,
To those who meditate on the statue of God.

Charanam

My planets and the five type of sins incite,
The six enemies like passion and anger,
But these can be easily won over by singing about Hari,
By Thagraja and those who pray like him.
